Racing Mount Pleasant GA review
Thanks in advance for your upcoming GA review of Racing Mount Pleasant (album)! Just letting you know that as it says on my userpage, I'm going through a very rough patch in terms of my health (mental and physical), so may take longer to respond to comments. Please do remind me (on my talk page, preferably) if 1-2 weeks pass after you finish the initial review and I still haven't responded, since it's possible I'll forget. Thanks :] Suntooooth, it/he (talk | contribs) 03:49, 10 February 2026 (UTC)
- @Suntooooth: my review is already done. It was pretty quick since the article is relatively short. Bait30 Talk 2 me pls? 04:18, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

Its said on my Walkcom talk to me so what do you want to talk about
So like the topic you sent on MY talk page welcome and you name User:Bait30 something talk to me So idk what you want to talk about but I'm here now Wikiruls (talk) 12:36, 5 March 2026 (UTC)
- @Wikiruls: Hi! Sorry for the confusion. That's my signature (see here). I just saw that you said "Hi so IDK what to do soooooo yeah" so I just wanted to leave you with some helpful links to get started. Hope you're enjoying editing! Bait30 Talk 2 me pls? 18:16, 5 March 2026 (UTC)
Off ANI
Bait30, I take it from ANI in a more personal way. I've been acting like a teenager, but I am like 12 years away from a biological teenager. So, I want to both thank you (parents "take us to ANI" and we end up better if we are genuine), and apologise personally to you. What I did at the Spencer thing was solely my fault, and you are entirely correct at the fact that I brought this upon myself because I could have (and probably will) create a separate article for that. And be sure, 100% sure, that I will go back to that extremely low-profile that I had, helping whenever I can. I hope that you can forgive my words; they were directed at people in my real-life rather than anyone of you. I hope to cross you in future edits. CoryGlee 23:27, 8 March 2026 (UTC)
